Men were a mistake

Of course.

Essentially im thinking if we had forever to live, what would be the point or meaning of anything as we could just “do it eventually” there would be no reason to do anything as our main motivator is running out of time

>Suppose that people live forever.

>Strangely, the population of each city splits in two: the Laters and the Nows.

>The Laters reason that there is no hurry to begin their classes at the university, to learn a second language, to read Voltaire or Newton, to seek promotion in their jobs, to fall in love, to raise a family. In endless time, all things can be accomplished. Thus all things can wait. Indeed, hasty actions breed mistakes. And who can argue with their logic? The Laters can be recognized in any shop or promenade. They walk an easy gait and wear loose-fitting clothes. They take pleasure in reading whatever magazines are open or rearranging furniture in their homes, or slipping into conversation the way a leaf falls from a tree. The Laters sit in cafes sipping coffee and discussing the possibilities of life.
